To @ZZ whom t may concern.'

Pe it known that l, lsaeo E. VIARD, a resident et Andale, in the countyof Sedgwick and State ot Kansas, have invented certain new and usefulimprovements in Hay- Balers; and i do hereby declare the 'following tobe a full, clear, and exact description o'll the invention, such as Willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same. i

ri"his invention relates to baling presses and more particularly to thatclass in which division blocks are placed within the hay ra r balingchamber in the process of forming the bales.

it is one aim oi the invention to provide means for 'folding up theloose hay at the end oit' a compieted bale, which means will serve alsoas a guide for the division block the latter is moved to position in thehaling chamber.

it is another aim of the invention to provide a baling press soconstructed that the operation of folding up the end of a completed baleand the placing of block within the baling chamber will be performedautomatically in a highly eiiicient manner and 1Without any particularattention on the part oi the operator of the press.

in the accoml'ianying drawings: Figure l is a top plan vieu.7 of thebaling press embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevationthereof. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view, a portion oi' themechanism being shown in top plan and the view being taken substantiallyon the line 3 3 of Fig. 9. il is a perspective view, illustrating aportion or" the mechanism. Fig. 5 is similar view, illustrating aportion of the mechanism. `Fig. 6 is a side elevation, viewing that sideoi the press opposite the side shown in llig. 2. Fig. i' is a top planvienT oi the through the `movement oi which the mechanism for foldingthe end of a bale is actuated.

yCorrespending and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and indicated in all thevieu's of the accompanying drawingsby the same reference characters.

ln the drawings, the baling press is illustrated including a Wheelsupported 'frame hai-fing upper angle iron frame bars l and 'similarloser bars or beams 2. `The beams at each side or" the i'rame areconnected in spaced relation by bars 3, plates e and plates thedivision` 5, which latter plates constitute the side walls of the balingchamber. The upper and lower beams are connected in spaced relation bymeans of bars 6 and plates '7 and 8 which constitute respectively thetop and bottom ot' the said baling chamber. A shaft 9 is journaled insuitable bearings upon the upper `beams l of the frame and upon thisshaft is fixed a tly Wheel l and a pulley ll. rthis shaft also has iixedupon it pinions l2 which mesh with spaced gears 13 connected by a crankpin le.

The packer, is indicated in general by the numeral l5, and has pivotedto it a plunger rod 16 which is also connected to the crank pin 14:, asclearly shown in Figs. l and of the drawings. 'l he packer l5 ispreferably of hollow` rectangular construction and for a purpose to bepresently explained, cneside Wall of the packer, which Wall is indicatedspecifically by the numeral ll, is formed With a recess 18 having abottom Wall 1S) inclined from the rear edge Ot the said u'all andterminating at a downwardly extending notch 20. Also for a purpose to bepresently explained, the said wall ci' the packer is formed with a slot2l which extends below the recess 18 and parallel to the lower side ofthe packer.

In order that hay may be introduced into the baling chamber, the chamberis provided in its top With the usual hopper 22. in order that adivision block may beplaced within the baling chamber, one side wall ot'the said chamber is iionied with an opening 23 and extending laterallyfrom the bottom of the baling chamber at the lower end of the openinO'23 is a supporting plate Q4 upon which the lower end o'll the divisionblock is to be disposed. The block is supported in upright position whenplaced upon the plate Qiby means oi: the guide arms Q5 secured to thesaid side wall ot the baling chamber and extending laterally there-fromand located at opposite sides of the said opening rl`he baling bleek isindicated in general by the numeral 2G. lt will be understood that theblock is to be disposed upon the sup porting plate Q-l in uprightposition and to besupported in this position by the arms Q5, which willengage against the opposite faces of the block. As a means for movingthe division blocks into the hay race, there is pro vided a rocking armwhich is arranged 'for cooperation with the blocks for the purpose rIhearm above referred to is indicated by the numeral 27 and is pivotallymounted, as at 28, between bracket arms 29 which project laterally fromthe said side wall of the baling chamber. At one end the arm 27 supportsa vertically disposed relatively narrow head 30 which carries rollers 3ladapted to engage against the outer lateral edge of a division blockdisposed upon the plate 24, in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 3 of thedrawings. The arm 27 at its opposite end is provided with a groovedroller 32 against which the cam member above referred to is designed toride. In order that the Vcam member may properly coact with the arm, thearm is provided between its pivot and its end which carries thev head30, with a lateralextension 33 carrying a roller 34. The cam memberabove referred to is of frame-like structure, and includes a bar 35which constitutes one side of the structure and which, for the greaterportion of its length, is straight. The end portions of the bar,however, are bent at an obtuse angle, as indicated by the numeral 36.This cam member also includes in its structure a bar 37 whichconstitutes the other side of the said member and this bar 37 has astraight portion, indicated specifically by the numeral 38, whichextends parallel to the bar 35 and further includes portions 39 and 40which extend at obtuse angles to the portions 38 and which are securedto the angularly bent ends of the bar 38. The portion 40 of the bar 37is formed with a slot which loosely receives an ear 41 located at oneend of an arm 42. The ear 41 has a pin 43 fitted through it whereby toconnect the ear ypivctally with the said portion 40 of the bar 37. Byreference to Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings, it will be observed that theroller 32 is designed to ride against the portions 38 and 39 of the cammember and that the roller 34 is designed to ride against the arm 42.

In order that the cam member may be normally, yieldably forced towardthe side of the baling chamber, upon which the mechanism above describedis mounted, the arm 42 is provided at its free end with a relativelylong finger 44 which works through a slot in the portion 38 of the cammember, and a leaf spring 4-5 is secured at one end to the portion 40 ofthe said cam member and bears at its other end against the end of thesaid finger 44 in a manner tending to force the arm 42 away from theside of the cam member. This movement is limited by means of a pin 46which is itted through the l end of the finger 44 and which engagesagainst the portion 38 when the parts are in the position shown in Fig.3 of the drawings. The manner in which the arm 27 and the movabledetent, as will nowrbe explained.

The fixed abutment is indicated byV the numeral 47 and is in the natureof a lug or block mounted upon the side wall of the baling chamber nearthe vforward end thereof. 'I his lug preferably has a rounded outwardlypresented face 43 against which the bar of the cam member may ride. Thedetent above referred to comprises a head 49 which is rounded in thesame manner as the lug 47 and which is provided with a stem 50 which isslidably mounted in suitable bearings 51 upon the side wall of thebaling chamber. The stem 50 ofthe detent projects not only abovethe'head 49 but also below the same and this latter portion is indicatedby the numeral 52 and is beveled at its4 extremity, as at 53. An anglelever is mounted for rocking movement upon the side of the balingchamber and one arm of this lever, indicated by the numeral 54, ispivotally connected, as at 55, with the upper end of the stem 50 of thedetent. A spring 56 is connected to the end of the said arm 54 oftheangle lever and to the side of the baling chamber or to one o f thebrackets 51 as shown in Fig. 2, and this spring normally yieldably holdsthe detent in lowered position. The other arm 57 of the angle leverprojects substantially vertically. A bracket 58 is mounted upon the sideofthe baling chamber and working in this bracket is a bar 59 adapted tohave longitudinal sliding movement in the bracket and also a slightvertical movement. The forward end portion of the bar 59 is slightlyoffset upwardly, as at 60, and is arrangedto engage at its extremityagainst the `upper end of the arm 57 of the angle lever when the bar 59is shifted in a forward direction. In order that the bar may be somoved, a rocking actuating arm 61 is mounted upon the baling chamber atthe rear end thereof and has pivotal connection with the rear end of thebar 59 and the said bar 61 carries at each end a handle 62, either ofwhich handles may be grasped for the purpose of rocking the arm wherebyto shift the bar 59. spring 63 is connected to the rear end of the bar59 and to the wall of the baling chamber and this spring serves tonormally yieldably hold the said bar shifted rearwardlv, andconsequently out of engagement with the arm 57 of the angle lever. y

By reference toFigs. 1 and 5 of the drawings, -it will be observed thatone end of the cam member, or, more specifically, the portion thereof isadapted to normally rest against the head 49 of the detent. lt willfurther be understood that when the roch arm 61 is rocked against thetension of the spring` G3, the bar 59 will be shifted forwardly, therebyimparting rocking' movement to the angle levelgrwhich will result in thedetent beine)` moved upwardly to position with its head 4-9 out ofcooperative relation to the cam member. its the bar 59 is shifted in themanner stated, it will ride over the upper end of the angle lever andwhen this occurs, the spring` 5G will act immediately to return thedetent to lowered position. Also for a purpose to be presentlyexplained, there is pivotally suspended from a bracket 6l: mounted uponthe side wall of the balinp,` chamber, a striker G5, the strikerdepending beside the detent 50 and being so located that when the dctentis elevated to allow the rear end of the cam member to be moved inwardlytoward the said side wall of the baling chamber, the said end of the cammember will strike the striker (i5 and sharplyswing the lower endthereof in the direction of that wall ofthe baling chamber upon which itis mounted. The said wall of the heling chamber is formed with anopening,- 66 located directly opposite the opening 21m the side of thepacker. lt will be apparent by reference to Figs. 2 and 5, that thelower end of the striker G5 is located directly opposite one end of theopening,` 66 so that when the striker is engaged by the cam member inthe manner stated, its lower end will be swung a short distance intothebaling; chamber.

ln the manner heretofore described, the arm 27 in its rocking` movementis designed to move the block into the baling chamber and in order thatthe cam member may be shiip ted so as to cause such movement of the saidarm, the member is provided with a laterally projecting pin 67 which,when the detent is moved out of position to cooperate with the cammember a .d the rcarend of the arm 27 is forced laterally inwardly, isdesigned to be projected through an opening,- G8 in the side wall of thebaling chamber and into the recess 1S. 0f course upon bachward movementof the plunger 15, the pin i3 will first ride up the inclined wall 19 ofthis recess and will finally engage in the :notch at the inner end ofthe recess and the continued backward movement of the plungfer willresult in the cam member being; shifted forwardly from the positionshown in Fig'. 1 to the position shown in ln such movement of the cammember, that end of the arm 27 which carries the roller will be carriedoutwardly and its opposite end will of course be forced inwardly,whereby to place the division block in the baling chamber, it beingunderstood of course that one of the blocks has been previously disposedin proper position upon the supporting` device provided therefor. Ofcourse in the backward movement of the plunger, the pin 6T will beengaged by one wall of the notch 20 and in the advance or forwardmovement of the plunger, the pin will be engaged by the opposite wall ofthe said notch, so that in this latter movement of the plunger orpacker, the cam member will be returned to the position shown in F 1,or, in other words, toits normal position. it will be apparent that inthis return movement of the cam member, the arm l2 thereof will rideagainst the roller Sil thereby moving,` this roller outwardly andreturning,` the outer or rear end of the arm 27 to position for theengage'nent with another one of the division blocls.

its before stated, means is provided for folding up the loose materialat toe end of a completed bale prior to placing' a division block intothe baling; chamber for the formation of another bale. and this meansincludes a folder plate (S9 which is disposed against the guides il)beneath the bottom of the baling chambc1 and in position for upwardmovement through the said bottom of the baling' chamber forthe purposestated. The forwardly presented face of the folder plate 69 is providedat each side with a pair of spaced lugs 70 between which fit the rearends of rock arms 71 which are mounted, as at 72, beneath the baling,`chamber. These arms at their with yolies 73 receiving eccentrics T4;upon a shaft To, which is also mounted beneath the bottom of thebaling;l chamber. rlhe shaft 75 has fixed upon it at one end a beveledgear 76 which meshes with a similar gear 77 at the lower end of a shaftTS mounted in bearings 79 upon that side wall of the baling chamber uponwhich the pre viously described mechanism is mounted. An arm 8O looselymounted upon the upper end of the shaft 78 and is provided with anarcuate groove 81 concentric to the shaft and into which projects a pincarried by the shaft, it beine; understood that the arm may, by reasonof this construction, i

have limit-ed free swinging movement upon the The arm 80 is formed inits upper side near its outer end with a seat in which the lower beveledend 53 of the stem 50 is designed to engage when the detent is inposition to restrain the cam member from inward movement. lt will now beapparent that when the arm 80 is unea in a direction to rotate the shaftcorresponding; movement will be imparted to the I- may take placeautomatically upon baclrforward ends are provided .f

ward movement of the plunger' or packer, means is provided for throwingthe arm 80 into the path of movement of the said packer or plunger, andthis means is embodied in the striker 65 previously described. For apurpose to be presently pointed out, an arm Si is mounted for rockinglmovement, as indicated at 85, upon the side of the baling chamber andhas an angularly. disposed end portion 66 which projects through a slotS7 formed in the said side wall of the baling chamber, its other endbeing adapted, under conditions to be presently explained, to beprojected through the opening 66. i

Before proceeding to a description of thc operation of the press, therewill first be described means which is provided vfor manipulating thebaling wires. The numeral 88 indicates the wire storage spools which aremounted upon that side wall of the bal ing' chamber which has beenpreviously referred to, and the wire from these spools is led across theinterior of the baling chamber and through an opening 90 which is formedin the other side wall thereof. A plate 91 is secured in any suitablemanner upon the lastanentioned side wall of the baling chamber andsupported in spaced relation to this plate 91 is a cutter plate 92having a beveled cutting edge 93. Levers 91 are pivoted at their endsbetween the plates 91 and 92 near the upper and lower ends thereof andeach lever is formed adjacent its pivot with an upstanding blade 95having a beveled cutting edge 96. By reference to Fig. 3 of thedrawings, it will be observed that the edge of the blade 95 is designedto 'coperate with the edge 93 of the cutter plate 92 and that the leversare slightly thickened at their beveled ends so as to provide a space 97between the inner side of each lever and the adjacent portion of theplate 91, for the engagement of the bale wire. whereby the same will befirmly held after being cut. It will'be observed, by reference to thesaid figure and to Fig. 6, that the blades 95 are located opposite theopening 90 and consequently opposite the recessed lateral edge `of a.division block in position within the baling chamber. By reason of thisarrangement of the parts, the portions of the bale wire which willextend across the recessed edge of the block may be grasped and engagedover the blades 95, after which the levers may be. swung ul'iwardly,whereby to simultaneously eut and grip the said portions of the wires. l

.In the operation of the press, assuming the parts to be initially inthe position shown in Fig. 1, one of the handles 62 is g iasped and thebar 59 is shifted forwardly so as to swing the arm 54 of the anelc leverin an upward direction. thereby lifting the r detent to bring its head49 out of engagement with the arm 27. Thel spring will i thenimmediately act to shift the cam mem ber inwardly toward the balingchamber and as the cam member isvmoved in this manner, the rear end ofits portion 35 will strike against the striker and the lower end of thestriker will sharply swing the,

arm S0 inwardly through the opening 66 and into the openingQl in theside wall of the plunger or packer. Also in such niovement ol: the cammember, the pin 67 will be projected through the opening 68 and intoVthe recess 18. In the return stroke of the packer or plunger, the pin 67will be guided by the inclined bottom wall 19 of the recess to positionwithin. the notch 20, and in the such manner as to move the divisionblock into the baling chamber, it being understood that one of theseblocks has been previously placed in position upon the supporting plate2land between the guides Q5; f In the meantime, the spring 56 hasreturned the detent to its normal position. yAs the plunger or v packerapproaches the limit of its backward movement, its side wall will engageagainst the end 86 of the arm 8l and the opposite end of this arm willbe swung sharply inwardly and through the opening` 66, striking the armS0 and swinging the same toward its original and normal position. Ufcourse, as the arm 80 swings to the position shown in Fig. 5, it willride beneath the beveled lower end of the stem of the `detent and thedetent will bemomentarily moved upwardly and finally will drop to theposi# tion` shown in the said figure and with the lower end of its stemseating in the seat 83 in the said arm. As the cam member is movedrearwardly, or, in other words, toward its normal position, its rearangular end 36 will ride against the head of the detent and the said cammember will be moved laterally outwardly, thereby withdrawing its rinl67 from engagement in the notch 30.
